Men out, ladies in at Off Broadway’s ‘Odd Couple: Female Version’
The Odd Couple: Female Version is playing in the Off Broadway Palm Theatre through October 29, 2017. The storyline and hilarity are the same, but the men are out and the ladies are in.
In case you’ve forgotten, the premise centers on neurotic neat freak who moves into the home of a messy, uncouth friend following a marital split. Within days, their differing lifestyles and outlooks on life begin to clash as they ruefully discover that even the best of friends can make the worst of roommates.
In this clever adaptation, playwright Neil Simon substitutes Florence Unger for Felix and Olive Madison for Oscar. He’s also changed the poker game into Trivial Pursuit, and recast the Pigeon sisters as the Costazuela brothers, two tipos salvajes y locos (wild and crazy guys) who are determined to infuse every situation with a piñata full of machismo. But even if you aren’t familiar with the original play or movie, laughs abound in this fast-paced Off-Broadway Palm stage production.
The show stars Kelly Legarreta as Olive Madison and Katie Pankow as Florence Unger. Joining them in the cast are Melissa Whitworth as Vera, Dena Galyean as Sylvie, ML Graham as Renee and Shannon Connolly as Mickey.
The Off Broadway Palm is an intimate 100-seat theatre, located in the main lobby of Broadway Palm. Since seating is limited, it is best to reserve your seats early.
